28on27 Juans Top Spring Fashion Tips!

January 24th 2013

Juan's Top Spring Fashion tips... Although winter is still in full effect, here at 28on27 we’re already reminiscing about sunshine, bright colors, bikinis, and open-toed shoes. Our Events and Studio Manager, Juan, is a connoisseur for all things fashion-related. And he’s especially excited for the 2013 spring and summer season. He has perused and probed multiple fashion magazines and websites to provide us with his favorite up-and-coming trends. It’s time to get in the gym and get ready, because spring will be here before we know it. It’s a good thing too; we’re gettingpretty bored with the brown-boot craze… Here are Juan’s top picks for 2013: Sunglasses: The bigger, the bolder, the better! This season, sunglasses aren’t just for blocking out the sun—they’re for attracting as much attention as possible. Diamond bedazzled, flower adorned, and pearl embellished frames will rock streets across the world. The crazier the frame, the hotter the trend. If you can’t handle all that attention, Juan recommends picking frames with at least a little color. Remember, this season, less is not more.

Shoes: Lately, we’ve cherished the 80’s like they’re never coming back. But the fashion world has thought otherwise. Move over 80’s, because the 90’s are taking over. Leave the platforms and the chunky heels in the closet—The 90’s are about exposing the posh, sleek, ultra-feminine in all of us. Shoes are no exception. Expect killer sky-high stilettos and gladiator-inspired heels. Prepare those toes; you’re going to need more pedicures and massages than ever.

Clothes: Who said April showers bring May flowers? This season, we’re embracing the inner-criminal in all of us. As seen in every major runway, the jailbird is back. Models on numerous runways have flaunted both horizontal and vertical black and white stripes. However, pick your outfit carefully. The jailbird trend won’t work at kids’ sporting events—you don’t want to be mistaken for the referee. Regardless of how your wear them, the inmate-inspired look works on men, children, and pets.

Lace, window dresses, box tops, and ruffles are also expected to be a huge hit this spring and summer season. Don’t let the cold deter you—Juan encourages you to get out and go shopping now!

28on27 Entrepreneur Laura Little opens up...

January 7th 2012

Entrepreneur Laura Little opens up about her inspiration for 28on27 and 1315 Studios. 28on27 and 1315 weren’t always the venues they are now, but owner Laura Little saw potential in the interiors and with her expertise and passion for art and design, she transformed the spaces into the multi-functional venues they are today. I sat down with Laura to chat about what inspired her two successful spaces and how she makes it all work: JK: Why did you choose to name the spaces 28on27 and 1315 the way you did? LL: The spaces are the buildings’ numbers. So it was easy and organic. You'll never forget where your going..ha. JK: What’s special about the spaces? What’s their “theme?” LL: Each space is meant to be comfortable, and easy to make “your own.” I love interesting spaces that are unique and have a different vibe. I think both spaces reflect that. 28on27 has amazing white pillars and black iron window molding. It’s a small detail but when I saw the space I could see it working. JK: What is your favorite thing about each of the spaces? Is there a specific design feature, piece of artwork, etc, that you feel “makes the space?” LL: For 1315 it has to be the windows and the high ceilings. The space feels so open and full of air and light. In the afternoon, it’s simply beautiful. 28on27 has more old-school New York charm. And it’s in such an unexpected place! The surprise of it is beautiful. JK: Do you incorporate your photography into the space? If so, how? LL: There’s no physical art work hanging in the spaces, but once a year I do an art exhibit, as I'm a photographer (and artist).. and we just opened an online store with the intention to curate and sell photography. My office is also packed with art. So it’s incorporated into the business and our daily lives. Art makes us happy. JK: What is your most unforgettable memory regarding the spaces? LL: Hiding in my office from Chris Brown! That's the worst/best memory so far!  JK: Haha! Why did you hide from him? Did he find you? LL: I can't tell you...but he didn't find me.
